Abstract
A paper which discusses Jonathan Spence's book "God?s Chinese Son: The Chinese Heavenly Kingdom of Hong Xiuquan" about Chinese Christian missionary Hong Xiuquan who led the Taiping ?Great Peace? Rebellion in a bid to gain power over China's major cities and succeeded in seizing Nanjing in 1853. By examining Spence's book, the paper delves into questions such as: What is the nature of Christianity and how should the missionary movement conduct itself in foreign lands? How did the Taiping Rebellion affect geopolitical forces, in China and abroad? Did the Taiping Rebellion carve the way for the Communist revolution in the following century? What does it mean to have a religious conviction and apply it with military force?
From the Paper
"Christianity already had its claws in Asia by the 1840s, as did Western trade interests. China?s Qing dynasty faced serious challenges to its integrity as it pondered the course of the nation?s future. Protestant missionaries that had flourished in the 19th century began to distribute, on a large scale, religious tracts and Chinese-language Bibles. The impact of these missionaries and their publications might not have been foreseen by the Qing dynasty, which already had begun to splinter. It is within this chaotic and semi-stable environment, coupled with the personal stress of continuously failing his Confucian exams, that Hong Xiuquan had his spiritual visions."

Abstract
J. Spence's book "God's Chinese Son" deals with the life of Hong Xiuquan, the leader of China's famous Taiping Rebellion of the nineteenth century. This report looks at Spence's portrait of Hong Xiuquan in terms of the author's background, the general topic of the Taiping Rebellion, the reasons for choosing this topic, the use of sources and, finally, conclusions about the book.
From the Paper
"The topic also involves the Western imperialist in China and is seen to have had several motivations. First of all, there was the monetary consideration: a great amount of riches was seen to be there for the taking in China, and many rushed to claim it. It also affected the way in which they thought of adding glory to their own cultural and religious
assumptions: by establishing order and the expressed will of the Christian religion in these new areas, the settlers reflected what they believed to be divine law in the provided areas of settlement in China, and the Christian church gained in power and wealth. Conquest was seen as a religious task: the souls of the native inhabitants were seen to be at stake, and missionaries vied to provide religious conversion and instruction, often reaching societies before explorers."

Lawrence?s ?Sons and Lovers? and Joyce?s ?Dubliners?, 2004.
This paper compares D.H. Lawrence?s "Sons and Lovers" and James Joyce?s ?Dubliners?, both published about 1913.

Abstract
This paper explains that both ?Sons and Lovers? and ?Dubliners?, significant literary works in their own right, challenged social mores by including discussions of sexuality in their stories. The author points out that these books, which are among the early accounts of the social effects of industrialization, presented a realistic depiction of the social conditions of the poor and working class. This paper argues that these literary works broke from romantic and often contrived fiction, which was popular in the 19th century, ushering in the dawn of a more realistic writing style.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"To deal with this unspoken and incestuous tension, Paul Morel employs another Freudian concept -- transference. The recipients of Paul?s romantic and sexual attentions are Miriam the chaste neighbor and Clara, the sensual older woman. Even in these relationships, the presence of his mother looms large. Paul wants a woman to forcefully claim him, a task that the wallflower-like Miriam fails to fulfill. Clara, the older woman, is clearly a maternal substitute for Gertrude Morel. However, Clara?s husband cuts short any progress this relationship could make."

Jesus, God the Son.
This paper uses biblical sources to discuss Jesus, God the Son.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, as the Second Adam, Jesus re-enacted the scene in the Garden of Eden and reversed the choice of the First Adam through perfect obedience to God, the Father, who came into the world without the curse of sin, which has passed from Adam down to the last mortal, by being conceived of the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Divine Trinity and born of a virgin, Mary of Nazareth. The author points out that Jesus speaks of God, the Father, as His Father in a most distinct way. God is the Father of others in that He is of the same nature as His Father, His divine sonship being clearly recorded in the Synoptic Gospels. The paper relates that every mortal is confronted with a choice to accept or reject the offer of salvation by Jesus Christ, who claims to be the Son of God and God the Son; the choice involves everlasting happiness or everlasting punishment, and it is not a mere option that can be rationalized.
From the Paper
"In the company of His first disciples, Jesus walked on the sea, calmed the storm and cast out demons (Mark 6:47-50, Mark 1:23-28, 4:35-41). After 40 days and 40 nights of fasting in the wilderness, Jesus was tempted by the devil to prove that He is the Son of God by turning stones into bread and hurling Himself down from the top of a temple (Matt 4:4-6). He preached that men should come to God trustingly as little children, "for such is the kingdom of God (Mark 10:13-16)." He taught obedience to God the Father from His own example of perfect obedience, even to the point of dying on the cross (Philippians 2:8), as His part in the divine plan, for which alone He became flesh."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the history of the idea that Jesus is the Son of God and the lasting light. According to the paper, the notion of Jesus as the unique son of the divinity emerged as one of the key, theological divisions between the Christian and the Jewish belief systems of the ancient world. The paper goes on to discuss the various interpretations of the term 'Son of God'.
From the Paper
"But nowhere in the Christian Bible are there more numerous phrases in which Jesus is specifically heralded as the Son of God, than in John's Gospel. Jesus repeatedly draws attention to his relationship with God the Father in such passages as: "My Father worketh until now; and I work.... For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will. For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son. That all may honour the Son, as they honour the Father." (Cited by Aherene, 2002, v, 17, 20-23). John sets out the unique duties of Father and Son in this passage, and for Trinitarians, this provides evidence for the existence of a multifaceted, multi 'peopled' divinity with a Father and a Son."

Genesis: The Sons of God, 2005.
Research study examining "The Sons of God", who they were, and what was their purpose.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of the "Sons of God". Specifically, it explores and argues that the "Sons of God" in Genesis 6 are human by using the following verses as background on the subject: Deuteronomy 9:18; Joshua 7:6; Psalm 112; Genesis 4:26; Numbers 13:33; and Job 1:6, 2:1.
From the Paper
"They were the Sons of God in that they had some of the mighty traits of their Father, but in the end, they still fell like any other human. In fact, earlier in Genesis, in 4:26, the writer notes that "men began to call upon the name of the Lord" ("Holy Bible" 3), thus, even before the Sons of God make an appearance, men have begun calling upon him, and calling him their Father. Numbers 13:33 refers again to this race of giants who later disappeared. "And there we saw the giants, the sons of Amak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight" ("Holy Bible" 123). This reference comes after the reference to the "Sons of God" in Genesis, but seems to refer to the same race of "larger than life" men that God sent to the world, then found to be weak and full of sin."

"The Brahmin?s Son", 2004.
A review of the novel, "The Brahmin?s Son", by Herman Hesse.

Abstract
This paper describes the inner journey undertaken by people such as Siddhartha, the main character of the novel, in their quest for knowledge and inner peace. The writer shows how, in chronicling this inner journey in "The Brahmin?s Son", Hesse presents a subversive challenge to devout followers of Hinduism by suggesting that the Divine Understanding is not located out in the world, but within every person.
From the Paper
"As the reader progresses, it becomes apparent that Siddhartha?s dissatisfaction stems from Brahmanism?s failure to achieve Nirvana. Siddhartha is an excellent student, one who soaks up the knowledge offered by his own father and his other Brahmin teachers. This knowledge is supposed to lead to Enlightenment, the core goal of any good Hindu. However, the more he learns, the more Siddhartha?s dissatisfaction grows. The inner tension increases as Siddhartha struggles between being "thirsty for knowledge" (4) and his desire for inner peace."

From the Paper
"A comparison of competitive catering services reveals trends in private party formats, cuisine menus, theme and entertainment concepts. Competitive business can often provide valuable information to new and developing operations. Although competition wasn?t a major problem for the function operation because of the nature of this function- it is a university assessment. The consideration of the competition should not be ignored to help to maintain the function to be better and professional. Group 1 chose Chinese food and Group 2 chose Moroccan food. These 2 groups had exactly same location, facilities and support from the university teachers, and the 2 groups targets on the same customers- university students, lecturers, university staff, their own family and friends etc."

Gods Before God, 1999.
A study of the development of monotheism in the Hebrew Bible.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Modern Judaism is usually considered a monotheistic religion - it has as its central tenet the belief in only one God, and the denial of the existence of all other gods. However, the Hebrew Bible is not a modern document, and it contains different conceptions of God and his relation to other gods. In places, the Hebrew Bible supports monotheism, but in other places it does not. This paper examines the various conceptions of God and other gods in the Hebrew Bible, how these conceptions changed over time, and the possible influences from sources outside the Israelite tradition, including Egyptian, Canaanite, and Iranian.
Outline:
Origins
Pre-Exile
Exile
Post-Exile
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the early, pre-exilic period, the Israelites were still forming as a people, and were substantially influenced by Canaanite religion and culture. Yahweh was still a somewhat local deity, tied to the land and the temple. After the destruction of the temple and during the exile, the Israelite religion had to broaden to survive, and God became more transcendent, omnipresent, and monotheistic. The Israelites also had to differentiate themselves from the people they were living among, in order to keep their religion and culture whole. When the exile ended and the temple was rebuilt this movement continued: God became more universal and the Jewish people became more exclusive. The religion has become thoroughly monotheistic, although in late post-exilic times it starts to develop a sense of dualism that was absent earlier, and is a result of Iranian influences (Widengren, 311)."

Abstract
In this paper, the films of Chinese-American directors John Woo and Ang Lee are considered in relation to Chinese and Americanized film genres. Here, Woo's "Face/Off" (1997) and Lee's "Sense and Sensibility" (1995) are examined for elements of Chinese culture and influence. This paper suggests that each director represent a different aspect of Chinese film, but that Woo's attention to the genre of action films compares most particularly with the martial arts genre made famous in Chinese film industries.

Abstract

The research explores the presence and prevalence of westernized female images in Chinese advertising media.
The paper offers a background of Chinese cultural ideals and provides a literature review. The paper shows how a new image of Chinese women is emerging in the media that is accepted more readily by the women than the men.
Outline:
Background of the Problem
Literature Review
Methodology
Results and Discussion
From the Paper
"China is a country steeped in tradition. Historically, it has been resistant to change and the introduction of foreign influences. For many years, China had an isolationist policy towards any type of foreign influence. China wanted to prove that they were self-sufficient. This exclusion of foreign influence isolated them culturally as well. Chinese cultural ideals were reinforced. Traditional female and male roles were predetermined before a child's birth, and the child dare not try to break them."

"The changes in the immigration policy of New Zealand are serving as tools to increase the country's human capital which is necessary for the nation's economic growth and development (Trlin & Henderson, 2000). However, with the increase in New Zealand's number of participants in the labour market, issues regarding the immigration policies have surfaced. Among the problems that trigger issues on immigration policy are the apparent rate of unemployment among the nation's locals as well as the unemployment of some migrants."
